Newton: It’s very important that we not be rigid in our approach to things, to always be open to change, that’s a very good point. Destiny of Souls is a book by Dr. Michael Newton (9 December 1931 – 22 September 2016), published in 2000. Newton was a hypnotherapist who developed his own age regression technique. I feel that in the last 25 years, all of us, in whatever capacity, are bringing spirituality to the population at large because of two factors: Newton: When I am at lectures, my audience will often say, “Well, when do we get to talk about God? So, when do your clients see God?” What they see potentially is “a great presence”— that is how they describe it when they are between lives, but they see that presence primarily when they are in front of their Council, the wise beings who are a step or two above their guides, who are assessing the life they have lived and where they think they would be best suited in the life to come. The practice of Buddhist “mindfulness”, now becoming popular in the West in a secular form, is the continual attentiveness to the impermanence or unreality of the self and the world, and the suffering caused by thinking and acting otherwise. The meaning of the soulIt made humanity qualitatively unique; ensuring the life of each individual soul had an ultimate meaning within the grand, divine scheme. However, even without a belief in the transcendent, atheistic humanists and existentialists still affirm the distinct value of each human person. I would like to point out that if anyone studies the early life of this man — and I’m not offering excuses for Hitler — it is clear that he grew up in Austria with an extremely cruel father who beat him regularly. This man grew up a very, very disturbed person. He was a sensitive artist in that environment. I think that rather than being born evil, people are created by the society in which they live. Practicing evil satisfies the cravings of disturbed people. Much denser than JOS, this book offers details unavailable in that first book and is recommended only if you found the JOS compelling. I did, and thus I enjoyed this book immensely, especially the 65 new case studies in which Michael Newton hypnotically regresses his subjects first to a past life, then moves them forward through their death in that life, then on to the "eternal now" of the Spirit World, where the fondest hopes and aspirations of our souls are realized: we are eternal beings, destined (if we desire it) to become perfect, to guide other souls in their search for perfection, to aid in the creation of planets upon which other eternal souls will dwell, and to ultimately join with the Source of all life, what we call prosaically "God."

This is a very important subject that you bring up, this whole idea of choice and free will, and it’s very much a part of our lives. A rich exploration of soul activity and parallel reality—fascinating stuff! Metaphysical research at its most excellent."— NAPRA ReView Within Islam, souls await the day of resurrection in their graves. It is a limbo-like state: those destined for hell will suffer in their graves; those destined for heaven will wait peacefully. Newton: Choices are extremely important because we are not set in such a mold that we do not have personal volition to make changes. I think this is what’s important about our understanding of karma. There are some people who may look at your first book and second book and say, “Why should we have this information? Do we really need to know it?”
